Video 2 from iRB DVD on refereeing Ruck and Tackle

[williamc737]

I have just come back from long lay of from back injury and I have to say that these new rules are a bit of a shambles at times. I am not saying it is the actual rules, but the interpretation of them.

It will probably take a while to settle down, but I cannot get my head around them. Every game I play seems to have different rules.

Thanks for the videos though, they have helped me understand a lot better.

[jrtheboyea]

@argt1989 impide la posibilidad de disputar el ruck!

[claytonbell13]

so sealing off is legal then? the purpose being to stop the other team from rucking over?

[HarlandRDO]

The IRB's message accompanying these videos was that sealing off is to be dealt with according to law. PENALTY. Regrettably, the top levels of the game still employ this tactic, though there has been some evidence of referees trying to ensure that rucks can still be contested..

[antiussentiment]

no.. it's illegal.
